Biography

Broadly speaking, my research interests lie at the intersection of landscape ecology, community ecology, and conservation biology. More specifically, my interests focus on examining how human activity affects the abundance, distribution, and extinction risk of animals by altering the spatial distribution of resources in heterogeneous and dynamic landscapes. The research projects conducted by me and my students typically focus on arthropods and birds in grasslands and urban ecosystems. Of all the anthropogenic activities that affect organisms, landscape change stemming from land conversion (primarily agriculture and urbanization) is the most intensive and cosmopolitan and is the overarching theme that links the research projects being conducted in my lab.
